Controlling Anger: A Solution Focused Approach for Children

A solution-focused approach to anger management for children.

This programme aims to help children:

• Avoid or manage situations of conflict
• Understand that they can create change
• Realise that it is possible to resolve difficulties and achieve a positive outcome.

In this thoughtful approach to anger management, the authors suggest a teaching and learning model and use 'story' as the focus of pupil engagement.

Eight stories help children develop emotional literacy through topics such as:

• Fighting with friends
• Bullying
• Swearing
• Humiliation
• Exclusion.

During the 10-session programme children will:

• Understand anger in a variety of situations
• Learn about physiological and behavioural aspects of anger
• Rehearse coping strategies
• Plan positive responses to provocative situations.

This book offers teachers and non-teaching staff a practical, exciting and well designed resource with full facilitator notes and all handout materials printable from a CD Rom.
